Kelly medically cleared. Said Julien's decision whether he's in tonight. #Bruins
Kelly has been out since March 11th because of a broken left leg. It sounds as if Kelly will be re-inserted into the Bruins lineup tonight vs. Carolina. He has just six points in 23 games this season.
Chris Kelly (broken left tibia), who traveled with the team to Montreal and sat out for the 14th straight game Saturday, was also back on the ice, skating with the team this morning.
On Friday, when Kelly skated for the first time with the team, coach Claude Julien indicated his status was "day to day."

This is the first time Kelly has joined his teammates for a morning skate since breaking his tibia on March 11th. He is not ready to make his return to the lineup, but this is a positive sign.
Immediate verdict on BOS's Chris Kelly injury earlier in week was no structural (ligament) damage to knee. True. But he broke his tibia.
This is a tough break for the Bruins and Kelly. This very likely ends Kelly's season. Jordan Caron will likely stay up with the Bruins as a result of this injury.
Kelly missed Tuesday’s game because of an injured left knee. Because of swelling around the knee, the Bruins have not been able to determine the severity of the injury.
Kelly, who was with the team in Pittsburgh, will be reevaluated upon the team’s return to Boston.
in the second period of Monday night's game against the Senators in Ottawa, Chris Kelly collided with Chris Neil in front of the Bruins bench. He was then helped down the tunnel by Bruins' medical personnel, and did not return.
Coach Julien said "No, nothing yet," when asked if there was an update on Kelly. "He's been looked at. We'll bring him with us to Pittsburgh and see how things pan out. Nothing more than that." The Bruins did not hold a morning skate so more news on Kelly's injury will be available a few hours prior to their game tonight.
Kelly moves up to the top line alongside Lucic and Seguin. After the team took an overwhelming 72 penalty minutes, they are looking for more discipline from their minute eaters.
